But it appears, and we all know looks can be deceiving, that Obama can win a few states that went Republican in 2000 & 2004. Whether this plays out, we'll see. But I think Clinton's approach of just trying to win the big states and hoping for a win in either Florida or Ohio is flawed.


Not trying extrapolate at all with caucases. I think those are extremely scewed and should not be looked at all when thinking of November. I mean give me a break -- Obama took kansas with 70% of the caucas -- you think he could carry Kansas?


I said "we" but meant the "media" in regard to extrapolating the caucuses to the general election - my mistake. No I do not think that Obama will take states in which there have been conservative strongholds. I merely meant that he has a chance in the states that were teetering in 2000 & 2004 and went Republican.
